For this final project, we will visualise data for different indicators over time within five different countries of the world (Australia, India, Brazil, Belgium, Rwanda).

The fist indicator is lung cancer new diagnoses. In the gapminder dataset, lung cancer is defined as the total number of new female and male cases of lung cancer during the certain year.

The second indicator is the percentage current tobacco use female and males defined in the gapminder dataset, as the percentage of the female and males population ages 15 years and older who currently use any tobacco product (smoked/andor smokeless tobacco) on a daily or non-daily basis. Tobacco products include cigarettes pipes, bidis, krater, heated tobacco products and all forms of smokeless tobacco but exclude e-cigarettes. Rates are age-standardized to the WHO Standard Population.

We then look at the relationship between tobacco use and lung cancer incidence among adults for the respective countries.

N.B: One limitation of the following data presentation is nature of interpretation which is based on purely descriptive and visual representation of the gapminder datasets and is therefore supported by any statistical test. Another limitation is that not all data was available for the researched timeframe, so the dataframe was automatically restricted for certain part of the visualisation.

More details can be found on the data in the “Data Download” page and the about pages.
